To say this is not a patch on the first two Beethovens is a simplistic understatement. Whoever put up the money to make this ghastly waste of space must have been barking mad. The "best" of the puerile toilet gags that litter the film involve exploding sewage outlets (all over the bad guys, naturally); the eponymous pooch farting after an overdose of eggs; and the dog licking a gigantic ball of earwax. The plot is daft and the baddies so stupid you almost feel sorry for them. The only ray of light (for us girls, anyway) is a drop-dead gorgeous cop right near the end of the film, providing the excuse for the inevitable car chase. But even he doesn't make it worth wasting time or money on this one.

Beethoven's (he's a St. Bernard) family hits the road in the family RV - and Beethoven gets to go, too. The father wants to take a replica of an RV trip that he and his family took many years before. However, the family is being stalked by a pair of bad guys. Unknown to the family, the kids are in possession of a CD containing a secret code and the baddies try several times (with hilarious results) to steal it. Usually they find themselves facing Beethoven. Judge Reinhold is the father (seems a bit young, but pulls it off), with Julia Sweeney as his wife. There are some pretty funny spots in this. I liked it.

Oh my god. When renting this, I thought to myself...the first one was pretty good, the 2nd one wasn't bad, maybe the 3rd one will be fine...even though they went all "Home Alone" on us and released it 8 years later but thats beside the point. This movie blew beyond belief. Don't see it - save yourself a couple bucks and buy some candy.

I just have finished this movie today and I thought the film was great ! Everybody was great but the bad guys were terrible ! Might be somebody was right !!! The two bad guys were just look like dumbies. But this was the first time I felt it's a great happiness family travel Ever ! I watched this film because of Joe Pichler.Now I can say that he's so great !!!!!! Thank you for giving me a funny film !!!!
